Project Details

Marlow Utd. Youth Football is all about providing a dynamic community based football programme for young people. When four years ago 9 children were excluded from their local team, one of the parents decided to take on the role of manager for a new team. They have since gone from strength to strength and have earned a high profile in the community. The children enjoy the football experience through a structured programme of skill, team bonding activities, fitness training, understanding of healthy living and much more. Last year It's Your Community was so impressed with the club that we made them an award for training equipment. After another successful year the club continues to grow, and now they intend to expand by developing a girl's team. In order to meet this need they need more equipment, so this well-earned second It's Your Community award will go towards purchasing footballs and an evening training Astroturf pitch for the team.

Project Updates

  • 08/09/2008 Marlow Utd Youth football came together when 9 players where released from their former club. In a move to provide football to the community one Dad stood forward to build a football experience and 3 years later the football expereince has grown, the kids have transformed and the community talk about the positive effect Marlow Utd values have on the community. Two Dads now deliver the football expereince for the community and work free to drawing local kids from the community to play and enjoy football. There is always new ideas and are community of parents are proud to be part of Marlow Utd Youth Football experience. One parent paid a compliment by saying that not only is their childs football improving but their social skills have improved and they have been educated.
